"TELL ME" SHE BEGGED
Kirsty was bubbling. "I only just heard!" she exclaimed."But
I'm told you already know about this."
She crashed onto a chair and looked me straight in the eye.
"Well, what do you know about them - about those six Israelis
dressed as Levitical priests who tried to get into the chamber?"
I just looked at her. But she was not going to let go. "You've
got to tell me," she pressed. "You know, the chamber that
contains the Ark... the Ark of the Covenant. Well... what
happened to them? Were they rabbis?"
I paused for a few moments, studying her wide eyes, and wondering
how much should be revealed.
"We don’t know if they were rabbis or not," I replied. "However,
we were in Jerusalem at the time. And we had direct inter-action
with one person involved.
"The Ark of the Covenant is calculated to be 370 feet north of the
old city wall of Jerusalem - which would locate it in occupied Arab
territory.
"As you may be aware, the late Yasser Arafat had every intention
of getting Jerusalem back, including this area. And the U.N. and
the United States seemed to be intent on forcing Israel to
accept that situation.
Well, it seems the Israeli authorities wanted to move the Ark of
the Covenant out of occupied territory, into their own territory.
So, reportedly, they allowed or arranged for six men, who were
dressed in the ancient Levitical garb, to go in and move the Ark."
YOU DON'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS
This is a rather sensitive issue, I explained to Kirsty.
In fact, in matters like this you don't ask too many questions.
One learns from experience that it's best not to get too nosey.
To put you, as well as Kirsty, in the picture, my wife Josephine
and I had arranged to meet our archaeologist friend Ron in
Jerusalem.
However, on this occasion he was delayed in Nashville, Tennesseee,
due to a minor operation. Our schedule demanded that we fly out
before he arrived.
On visits to Israel, Ron has quite often stopped by the
Antiquities office and asked if there was anything he could help
them with.
He had some electronic equipment and some experience using it,
so our team was able to help find things that they sometimes had
problems locating.
With electronics, one can, for example, see if there is something
in a cave, before going to the bother of opening it. So the
Antiquities guys have had the team do some of this.
On this particular occasion they just said, “Well, yes, we do
have a problem you can help us with.”
So that night Ron was to meet them down at Zedekiah’s Cave.
They went in. Once inside the cave, at the entrance to the tunnel
that goes north, they stopped.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?
The Antiquities men announced: “Six men went down this tunnel to
move the Ark to a safer place. And they didn’t come out. Would you
go see what happened to them?”
Well, the Israelis are not cowards, by any stretch of the
imagination.
As it was, the six missing men who entered the tunnel had
walkie-talkies (two-way radios). Undoubtedly they were in contact
with others at the entrance to the tunnel.
We can only surmise that they must have made some horrifying
noises as they died. Otherwise some people would have gone in to
see what happened to them. Nobody would go in.
Well, when Ron went in, there were the six men, all dead.
From the beginning of the tunnel in Zedekiah’s Cave to the
actual chamber containing the Ark of the Covenant is an estimated
370 feet (about 114 meters).
The six men had progressed approximately 70 feet (21 meters)
along the tunnel when they died. All of them died of stroke.
In my subsequent investigation of the event, I was informed that
every one of them was found with both eyes crossed – which a
medical doctor assured me was evidence of a bilateral stroke (
a stroke occurring on both sides of the body).
This allegedly befell all six of them.
Anyway, when Ron saw what had happened, he went back out and told
the Antiquities guys.
They had brought along some rescue baskets made of light-weight
alloy, with ropes tied to them, in case Ron was able to go in.
So he took a basket, and picked up the bodies one at a time, and
put them in the basket, holding it upright, as the men at the
tunnel entrance pulled the basket out.
When they got one to the entrance of the tunnel, Ron took another
one, then went back and did another, until they got all six of the
bodies out.
Ron didn’t ask what they did with them. He didn’t ask anything. He
was asked not to say anything.
But this did appear in a couple of newspapers – that there had been
six Israelis who had died in an effort to retrieve a national
artefact.
Because it was in the papers, some folk have asked if we knew
about it. The answer, of course, is yes. For this reason I have
shared the above information.
This incident may remind you of some Old Testament accounts in
which unauthorised men who approached, touched or looked into
the Ark dropped dead.
So apparently, nothing has changed. The Ark remains a very sacred
object. And if you ask me, it will remain where it is and no one
will move it.
WALKING ON A KNIFE EDGE
Of course, as you are aware, Israel today is on tenterhooks. The
government is nervous. It does not want war. Neither do most of
the people, whether Israeli or Arab.
But it is against this background that we must view the current
official attitude toward the reported Ark of the Covenant
discovery. You won't get them to admit much.
Whatever way you view it, that ancient golden chest from Solomon's
Temple is potentially the most explosive object on earth…
archaeologically, politically and religiously.
The barrier of silence should not surprise us. In virtually every
country, official denials of numerous matters are standard
procedure. And in such cases, almost all personnel even in the
department concerned are kept in the dark.
CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
A classic example of the denials policy in action was seen in
April, 1995, after Channel 7 radio in Israel broke the news
that Foreign Minister Shimon Peres had met with the Pope with
a proposal to place the Old City of Jerusalem under Vatican
control.
Israel's ambassador in Rome, Shmuel Hadas, and Peres himself,
denied such a plan.
However, a copy of a telegram sent by Miriam Ziv to the Foreign
Ministry in Jerusalem, outlining Peres' planes, surfaced and
was printed in the "Hatzofe" newspaper.
Former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir told the "Jewish Press"
that:
"This is similar to Peres' denial that there was ever a letter
with promises to Arafat about Jerusalem and later the letter
surfaced. Now this telegram was revealed. Who knows what else
they are concealing from the public?" (Issue of April 14-20,
1995)
IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP
Anyway, Henry Kroll, something has to be told. So, after much
consideration, I'm about to rip apart a curtain of silence about
the Ark.
Yes, yes... I know. The Ark's been reported in Ethiopia...
in Jordan... in Egypt... and a dozen other places.
Indeed, there have to be replicas. But originals? There can be
only one. And that's what we're talking about.
You won't want to miss this incredible true story.
Here are revealed the down-to-earth inside secrets about a lost
treasure... a dangerous search... and an almost unbelievable
discovery claim.
And yet, when you face all the strands of evidence, what else
could it be?
I'll take you along a trail of archaeological surprises, through
forgotten history and right up until now.
Why did an Israeli ex-Secret service agent say to me, "you have
just filled in the missing gaps in what I already knew"?
What sinister secret associated with the Ark is being covered
up?

AMERICA'S LEADING PSYCHIATRIST CONVICTS HIMSELF OF CRIMES                               AGAINST HUMANITY

by Jon Rappoport

www.nomorefakenews.com

SEPTEMBER 2, 2012. The medical cartel, one of a handful of evolving super-cartels that strive for more power every day, is rife with so much fraud it's astounding. In the psychiatric arena, for example,                               an open secret has been bleeding out into public consciousness for the past ten years.



THERE                               ARE NO DEFINITIVE LABORATORY TESTS FOR ANY                               SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDER.



And                               along with that:



ALL                               SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDERS ARE CONCOCTED, NAMED,                               LABELED, DESCRIBED, AND CATEGORIZED by a committee                               of psychiatrists, from menus of human                               behaviors.



Their                               findings are published in periodically updated                               editions of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual                               of Mental Disorders (DSM), printed by the American                               Psychiatric Association.



For                               years, even psychiatrists have been blowing the                               whistle on this hazy crazy process of                               "research."



Of                               course, pharmaceutical companies, who manufacture                               highly toxic drugs to treat every one of these                               "disorders," are leading the charge to invent more                               and more mental-health categories, so they can                               sell more drugs and make more money.



But                               we have a mind-boggling twist. Under the radar,                               one of the great psychiatric stars, who has been                               out in front inventing mental disorders, went                               public. He blew the whistle on himself and his                               colleagues. And for 2 years, almost no one                               noticed.



His                               name is Dr. Allen Frances, and he made VERY                               interesting statements to Gary Greenberg, author                               of a Wired article: "Inside the Battle to Define                               Mental Illness." (Dec.27, 2010).



Major                               media never picked up on the interview in any                               serious way. It never became a scandal.



Dr.                               Allen Frances is the man who, in 1994, headed up                               the project to write the latest edition of the                               psychiatric bible, the DSM-IV. This tome defines                               and labels and describes every official mental                               disorder. The DSM-IV eventually listed 297 of                               them.



In                               an April 19, 1994, New York Times piece,                               "Scientist At Work," Daniel Goleman called Frances                               "Perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America                               at the moment..."



Well,                               sure. If you're sculpting the entire canon of                               diagnosable mental disorders for your colleagues,                               for insurers, for the government, for Pharma (who                               will sell the drugs matched up to the 297 DSM-IV                               diagnoses), you're right up there in the                               pantheon.



Long                               after the DSM-IV had been put into print, Dr.                               Frances talked to Wired's Greenberg and said the                               following:



"There                               is no definition of a mental disorder. It's                               bullshit. I mean, you just can't define                               it."



BANG.



That's                               on the order of the designer of the Hindenburg,                               looking at the burned rubble on the ground,                               remarking, "Well, I knew there would be a                               problem."



After                               a suitable pause, Dr. Frances remarked to                               Greenberg, "These concepts [of distinct mental                               disorders] are virtually impossible to define                               precisely with bright lines at the                               borders."



Frances                               might have been referring to the fact that his                               baby, the DSM-IV, had rearranged earlier                               definitions of ADHD and Bipolar to permit many                               MORE diagnoses, leading to a vast acceleration of                               drug-dosing with highly powerful and toxic                               compounds.



Finally,                               at the end of the Wired interview, Frances flew                               off into a bizarre fantasy:



"Diagnosis                               [as spelled out in the DSM-IV] is part of the                               magic...you know those medieval maps? In the                               places where they didn't know what was going on,                               they wrote 'Dragons live here'...we have a                               dragon's world here. But you wouldn't want to be                               without the map."



Translation:                               People need to hope for the healing of their                               troubles; so even if we psychiatrists are shooting                               blanks and pretending to know one kind of mental                               disorder from another, even if we're inventing                               these mental-disorder definitions based on no                               biological or chemical diagnostic tests---it's a                               good thing, because people will then believe there                               is hope for them; they'll believe it because we                               place a name on                               their problems...



If                               this is medical science, a duck is a rocket                               ship.



If                               I were an editor at one of the big national                               newspapers, and one of my reporters walked in and                               told me, "The most powerful psychiatrist in                               America just said the DSM is sheer b.s. but it's                               still important," I think I'd make room on the                               front page.



If                               the reporter then added, "This shrink was in                               charge of creating the                               DSM-IV," I'd clear more room above the                               fold.



If                               the reporter went on to explain that the whole                               profession of psychiatry would collapse overnight                               if the DSM was discredited, I'd call for a special                               section of the paper to be printed.



I'd                               tell the reporter to get ready to pound on this                               story day after day for months. I'd tell him to                               track down all the implications of Dr. Frances'                               statements.



I'd                               open a bottle of champagne to toast the                               soon-to-be-soaring sales of my                               newspaper.



And                               then, of course, the next day I'd be                               fired.



Because                               there are powerful multi-billion-dollar interests                               at stake, and those people don't like their                               deepest secrets exposed in the press.



And                               as I walked out of my job, I'd see a bevy of                               blank-eyed pharmaceutical executives marching into                               the office of the paper's publisher, ready to read                               the riot act to him.



Keep                               in mind that Dr. Frances' work on the DSM IV                               allowed for MORE toxic drugs to be prescribed,                               because the definition of Bipolar was expanded to                               include more people.



Adverse                               effects of Valproate (given for a Bipolar                               diagnosis) include:



acute,                               life-threatening, and even fatal liver                               toxicity;



life-threatening                               inflammation of the pancreas;



brain                               damage.



Adverse                               effects of Lithium (also given for a Bipolar                               diagnosis) include:



intercranial                               pressure leading to blindness;



peripheral                               circulatory collapse;



stupor                               and coma.



Adverse                               effects of Risperdal (given for "Bipolar" and                               "irritability stemming from autism")                               include:



serious                               impairment of cognitive function;



fainting;



restless                               muscles in neck or face, tremors (may be                               indicative of motor brain damage).



Dr.                               Frances self-admitted label-juggling act also                               permitted the definition of ADHD to expand,                               thereby opening the door for greater and greater                               use of Ritalin (and other similar compounds) as                               the treatment of choice.



So                               what about Ritalin?



In                               1986, The International Journal of the Addictions                               published a most important literature review by                               Richard Scarnati. It was called "An Outline of                               Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin                               (Methylphenidate)" [v.21(7), pp. 837-841].                              

Scarnati listed a large number of adverse                               affects of Ritalin and cited published journal                               articles which reported each of these symptoms.                              

For every one of the following (selected                               and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at                               least one confirming source in the medical                               literature:

Paranoid delusions                              
Paranoid psychosis
Hypomanic and manic                               symptoms, amphetamine-like psychosis                              
Activation of psychotic symptoms
Toxic                               psychosis
Visual hallucinations
Auditory                               hallucinations
Can surpass LSD in producing                               bizarre experiences
Effects pathological                               thought processes
Extreme withdrawal                              
Terrified affect
Started screaming                              
Aggressiveness
Insomnia
Since Ritalin                               is considered an amphetamine-type drug, expect                               amphetamine-like effects
Psychic dependence                              
High-abuse potential DEA Schedule II Drug                              
Decreased REM sleep
When used with                               antidepressants one may see dangerous reactions                               including hypertension, seizures and hypothermia                              
Convulsions
Brain damage may be seen with                               amphetamine abuse.

A recent survey                               revealed that a high percentage of children                               diagnosed with bipolar had first received a                               diagnosis of ADHD. This is informative, because                               Ritalin and other speed-type drugs are given to                               kids who are slapped with the ADHD label. Speed,                               sooner or later, produces a crash. This is easy to                               call "clinical depression." Then comes Prozac,                               Paxil, Zoloft. These                               drugs can produce temporary highs, followed by                               more crashes. The psychiatrist notices the up and                               down pattern-and then comes the diagnosis of                               Bipolar (manic-depression) and other drugs,                               including Valproate and Lithium.



In                               the US alone, there are at least 300,000 cases of                               motor brain damage incurred by people who have                               been prescribed so-called anti-psychotic drugs                               (aka "major tranquilizers"). Risperdal (mentioned                               above as a drug given to people diagnosed with                               Bipolar) is one of those major tranquilizers.                               (source: Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin, St.                               Martin's Press, 1991)



This                               psychiatric drug plague is accelerating across the                               land.



Where                               are the mainstream reporters and editors and                               newspapers and TV anchors who should be breaking                               this story and mercilessly hammering on it week                               after week? They are in harness.



And                               Dr. Frances is somehow let off the hook. He's                               admitted in print that the whole basis of his                               profession is throwing darts at labels on a wall,                               and implies the "effort" is rather heroic-when, in                               fact, the effort leads to more and more poisonous                               drugs being dispensed to adults and children, to                               say nothing of the effect of being diagnosed with                               "a mental disorder." I'm not talking about "the                               mental-disease stigma," the removal of which is                               one of Hillary Clinton's missions in life. No, I'm                               talking about MOVING A HUMAN INTO THE SYSTEM, the                               medical apparatus, where the essence of the game                               is trapping that person to harvest his money, his                               time, his energy, and of course his health---as                               one new diagnosis follows on another, and one new                               toxic treatment after another is undertaken, from                               cradle to grave. The result is a severely                               debilitated human being (if he survives), whose                               major claim to fame is his list of diseases and                               disorders, which he learns to wear like badges of                               honor.



Thank                               you, Dr. Frances.

Michigan Militia cleared of charges...

Mich. militia members cleared of charges that accused them of plotting war against government

By Associated Press, Published: March 27AP

DETROIT — A federal judge on Tuesday gutted the government’s case against seven members of a Michigan militia, dismissing the most serious charges in an extraordinary defeat for federal authorities who insisted they had captured homegrown rural extremists poised for war.
U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts said the members’ expressed hatred of law enforcement didn’t amount to a conspiracy to rebel against the government. The FBI had secretly planted an informant and an FBI agent inside the Hutaree militia starting in 2008 to collect hours of anti-government audio and video that became the cornerstone of the case.

A federal judge in Michigan has dismissed conspiracy charges and gutted the government's case against seven members of a U.S. militia who prosecutors said were homegrown extremists poised for war.

“The court is aware that protected speech and mere words can be sufficient to show a conspiracy. In this case, however, they do not rise to that level,” the judge said on the second anniversary of raids and arrests that broke up the group.
Roberts granted requests for acquittal on the most serious charges: conspiring to commit sedition, or rebellion, against the U.S. and conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction. Other weapons crimes tied to the alleged conspiracies also were dismissed.
“The judge had a lot of guts,” defense attorney William Swor said. “It would have been very easy to say, ‘The heck with it,’ and hand it off to the jury. But the fact is she looked at the evidence, and she looked at it very carefully.”
The trial, which began Feb. 13, will resume Thursday with only a few gun charges remaining against militia leader David Stone and son Joshua Stone, both from Lenawee County, Mich. They have been in custody without bond for two years.
Prosecutors said Hutaree members were anti-government rebels who combined training and strategy sessions to prepare for a violent strike against federal law enforcement, triggered first by the slaying of a police officer.
But there never was an attack. Defense lawyers said highly offensive remarks about police and the government were wrongly turned into a high-profile criminal case that drew public praise from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who in 2010 called Hutaree a “dangerous organization.”
David Stone’s “statements and exercises do not evince a concrete agreement to forcibly resist the authority of the United States government,” Roberts said Tuesday. “His diatribes evince nothing more than his own hatred for — perhaps even desire to fight or kill — law enforcement; this is not the same as seditious conspiracy.”
U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade declined to comment. Two years ago, when militia members were arrested, she said it was time to “take them down.”
The FBI had put a local informant, Dan Murray, inside the militia in 2008 and paid him $31,000. An FBI agent from New Jersey also was embedded. Steve Haug, known as “Jersey Steve,” posed as a trucker and spent months secretly recording talks with Stone. He even served as Stone’s best man at his wedding, a celebration with militia members wearing military fatigues.
Haug repeatedly talked to Stone about building pipe bombs and getting other sophisticated explosives. The FBI rented a warehouse in Ann Arbor where the agent would invite him and others to store and discuss weapons.
Haug told jurors he was “shocked” by Stone’s knowledge of explosives, noting it matched some of his own instruction as a federal agent.
Stone was recorded saying he was willing to kill police and even their families. He considered them part of a “brotherhood” — a sinister global authority that included federal law enforcers and United Nations troops.
He had bizarre beliefs: Stone suspected Germany and Singapore had aircraft stationed in Texas, and thousands of Canadian troops were poised to take over Michigan. He said the government put computer chips in a flu vaccine.
He had a speech prepared for a regional militia gathering in Kentucky in 2010, but bad weather forced him and others to return to Michigan. Instead, he read it in the van while a secret camera installed by the FBI captured the remarks.
“It is time to strike and take our nation back so that we may be free again from tyranny,” Stone said. “Time is up, God bless all of you and welcome to the new revolution.”
Swor said Stone is a Christian who was bracing for war against the Antichrist.
“This is not the United States government. This is Satan’s army,” Swor told the judge Monday, referring to the enemy.
Militia members cleared of all charges were Stone’s wife, Tina Stone, and his son, David Stone Jr.; Thomas Piatek of Whiting, Ind.; Michael Meeks of Manchester, Mich.; and Kris Sickles of Sandusky, Ohio.
“It’s hard to believe it’s over,” said Tina Stone, crying as she spoke by phone. “Thank God we live in a country where we do have freedom of speech.”
Joshua Clough of Blissfield, Mich., pleaded guilty to a weapons charge in December and awaits his sentence. Jacob Ward of Huron, Ohio, will have a separate trial.
